Patented Dec.. 7, 4193'? o' I PATENT OFFICE YCORRUGATED vvSLITCER ANDDETACHABLE SHREDDING SET George Potstada, Oakland, Calif. 1 ApplicationOctober 29, 1934, Serial No. 750,449

. 6 claims.

This invention relatesto improvements in corrugated slicer anddetachable shredding setsl and more particularly to a device forslicing/vegetables in corrugated slicesand a holder'that holdsdetachable shredding and grating knives, and one of the objects of theinvention isto'provide a slicing knife having a corrugated cutting edgeand means to hold the knife blade so that thin corrugated slices may bemade fromv a vegetable, specially to slice potatoes for making potatochips. Y

Another object is to provide a blade of this kind so that if thevegetable is vmoved'over the blade'inone Way a corrugated slice will bemade, and then if the vegetable is turned at an angle tothe'first''movement1 cross corrugat'ions are made, and if the slices arevery thin, Vholes will be cut throughin the made corrugations, thus Ymaking an ornamental slice of vegetables or fruit.

Another object of the 4invention is to provide a grater holder havingmeans to attach and detach different slicing and shredding blades, and Yto provide interlocking means for holding the blades in place.

Another object is to provide a Vholder for a corrugated slicer which isadapted to slide in the combination vegetable grater shown in myapplication filed May 24, 1933. Serial No. 672,582.

Another object is to provide a holder with corrugated cutting edgeformed in the'holder face. Another object is to provide a holder of thiskind that may be used in connection with a stand that holds theVegetable stationary and which allows the grater holder to slide, or onethat can be used independently` wherein the-vegetable is moved. Y

Other objects of the invention will appear to those skilled in the artto which it appertains as the description progresses. An embodiment ofthe invention' is shown in the accompanying drawing in which the samereference numeral is applied to the same portion throughout the severalViews, and of which there may be modications.` Y

Figure 1 is a face view of a holder showing a detachable corrugated edgeslicer attached.

Figure 2 is an enlarged sectional View taken on line 2 2 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is an enlargedsectlonal View taken on line 3-3 of Figure 1. I

Figure 4 is a bottomV view of the corrugated edge blade shown in theattached position in Figure 1.

lng the opening for the Slicer-blade.

Figure 5is a plan of a portion oi' a holdershow- (Cl. 14S- 171) V.Figure6 is a View of a straight edge slicing blade. V L

Figure 7 lshows a grater blade adapted Vtoiill the opening in theholder.

Figure 8 is a side View of the viewl shown in 5 Figure '7.

'Figure 9 shows another type of grater. Figure 10 isa side view ofFigure 9. l Figure 11 is an edge View of a corrugated vegetable slice.

Figure l2 shows a corrugated vegetable'slice. Figure 13 is a viewsimilar to Figure 12 but Y shows the effect of corrugationsat rightangles to thei'lrst made corrugations.

The numeral I indicatesa'sheet -metal frame 155' holder reinforced bythe Wire 2 in the Well known way,` and having the wire extend to formahandle 3." An opening4 is provided in the sheet metal into which fitsthe blade 5 which may be providedwith a corrugated slicing edge 6 asshown, 2O or other forms of slicing and shredding edge and surface.

On each side of the opening 4 there is a slot l' adapted to receive thehook like members 8 and 9; these members are formed by cutting the slots25 l0 and bending down the member on the edge of the blade.

The members lII and I2 are inset and bent down and the ends I3 ,and I4extending to form the interlocking means by sliding under the edge 30 ofthe opening as shown.

,The edge I5 is bent down to strengthen the blade.

The blade shown in Figure 6 is made in the same way but has a straightslicing blade I. The 3- form shown in Figures 7 and 8 has the slot I'Iin the hook member I8 the reverse way from slot I0, and has both sidesI9 and 2li bent down; the shredder surface may be in any form as 2|.

In the form shown in Figures 9 and 10 the 40 bent clown members 22 and23 t the slots 1, and the members 24 and 25 t the opening 4.

The shredding surface may take any form, in this instance the raisedcutters 2t are shown.

Figures 11, 12, and 13 show the form of sliced 15 vegetables made withthe corrugatededge blade 2l showing straight corrugations and 28 showingcross corrugations, in this instance at right angles, but may be on anyangle. the holes 29 being formed in thin slices bythe cross cutting. 50

In operation the holder may be placed in the guides of a grater standand reciprocated on the vegetable placed in the trough and heldror givena quarter turn or less to produce the ornamental eiects desirable inmaking potato' chips, or the 55 vegetable may be moved to and fro on theholder slicing or shredding blades.

A set of detachable blades should be supplied for each holder.

Having thus described my invention what I wish to secure by LettersPatent of the United States is as follows, but modifications may be hadin carrying out the invention as shown in the accompanying drawing andin the particularly described form thereof within the purview of theannexed claims.

I claim:

1. A device of the class described comprising a holder, an opening insaid holder, a detachable blade having a cutting edge for said opening,aA

slot on each side of said opening, hook-like members on each side ofsaid blade adjacent said cutting edge adapted to engage said slots,projecting members on said blade at the opposite end thereof wherebywhen said blade is insertedV in the opening and pushed back, said bladewill be locked inplace.

2. A device of the class described comprising a holder, an opening' inthe face oi said h'older', a slot oneach side of saidopening, a cuttingblade adapted to'be mounted across said opening, said blade having bentdown members at the sides thereof adaptefdto engage saidtslo'ts, slotsin said beni'I down members opening` rearwardly and receiving thelreariedge of the rst me'ntioned'slots when said blade is inserted andmoved back, and projectingmemberso'n the blade at the rear end thereofadapted toen'gage the under side of the rear'edgeof said opening.

`3. A device of the class' described comprising a holder having a wireframe and handle, and a sheet metal face, in combination` with anopening in said face" having its edges bent downwardly, slots onopposite sides' of said opening, a slicing and shredding blade to t intosaid opening, said blade having hook'like members on each side to engagesaid slots when moved backward, rear'-L wardly projecting members onsaid blades adapted to slide under the rear side of said opening whenmoved backward whereby the blade is interlocked in position.

4. A device of the class described comprising a sheet metal holder, anopening having forward. rear and side edges in said holder, slotsadjacent the side edges of said opening, a detachable blade having arear' edge, a forward cutting edge and side edges to be inserted intosaid opening, bent down hook like members on the side edges of saidblade adapted to hook under the rear edges of said slots, when saidblade is inserted in the opening, and moved backward, and rearwardlyprojecting members on the rear portion of the blade adapted to engagethe under side of the rear edge of said opening as the blade in movedrearwardly.

5. A device of the class described comprising a holder, an opening inthe face of said holder, a slot on veach side of said opening, adetachable slicing bladehaving aforwardly projecting cutting edgeadapted to t into said opening, bent down p''rtions on said blade havingslots opening rearwardly and adapted to hook into said rst slots andtoengage the edges of said rst slots when the blade is moved backwardand rearwardly projecting members on said blade adapted to slide'underthe back edge of said opening.

6. A device of the class described comprising a. holder, an opening insaid holder, a detachable blade having a cutting edge, a slotl in theholder adjacent each side of said opening,` and integral hook-likemembers oneach side of said blade extending laterally thereof lin thesame direction and facing in the same direction adapted to engagesaidslots whereby when said blade is inserted in the opening and movedlaterally, said blade will be locked in place.
